Will tennis be able to cope once the big 4 retire?

Tennis is currently dominated by the 'Big 4' of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. With all four players reaching their mid-30s, there is an increasing concern over the future of the sport once they retire. There are some players in the top 20 who may be able to fill the void left by the Big 4, however tennis may struggle to attract the same level of interest. As such, Tennis will need to focus on developing new stars and finding ways to keep fans interested in order to remain successful once the Big 4 finally retire.
